All American Military Space and Missile Program Leaders

Engineers and managers who directed the missile and space programs of the United States Air Force, the Army and their contractors rather than those of the civil space agency NASA. Allen F. Donovan, who headed the development of re-entry vehicles for the Atlas, Titan and Thor missiles at Ramo-Wooldridge and later joined The Aerospace Corporation, is the first such leader in this atlas. A person belongs here when the cited article places their leadership in an American military or contractor missile or space program. The leaders of NASA and its flight directors, and those of the Soviet Union, Russia and other countries, have groups of their own.
